Carus Brom

"In the name of the Emperor, you will not falter!"

Carus Brom is the highest ranking Imperial Guard officer on Tartarus at the time of the Blood Ravens' arrival to the planet. Although a capable commander, he was simply overwhelmed by Orkamungus's Waaagh and struggled to contain the increasing desertion among the ranks. He did his best to assist Gabriel Angelos and the Blood Ravens until Inquisitor Mordecai Toth overruled their authority. Carus Brom's eventual fate is unknown, although he may have left with the remaining loyal Planetary Defense Force soldiers who were evacuated from Tartarus.

Carus Brom is available to the player for missions 5 and 6 of the original Dawn of War campaign, and will automatically Deep Strike back in near your base if he is killed during mission 5.

It's interesting to note that in Dawn of War: Soulstorm that after you complete the Eldar campaign, in the ending cinematic the Imperial Guard assigns a new leader for the Imperial Guard of the Kaurava system. The new general is apparently Brom, as he shows up when the Eldar launch a quick raid on Imperial Guard buildings in the Eldar's final cinematic.

Tactics

Colonel Brom is one of the weaker commanders that are used in the campaign. He can fight alone, although this is not advisable as he only has 750 HPs, meaning that the heavy shooting warriors like Dark Reapers will cut him down in seconds.

Brom has around the skills of a Space Marine Squad when it comes to range-fighting. However, in melee, he has better statistics.
